Junmai Daiginjo Itooshi

純米大吟 醸愛おし

Yamadanishiki milled down to 40%. Kanazawa yeast (yeast #14) is used to bring out the delicate ginjo aromatics and rice umami. Matured at low temperatures until release. Rich and amazingly balanced with beautiful ginjo aromas of melon, lychee, and ripe pear. Fresh acidity with a clean drying finish. Enjoy slightly chilled. 

One of the top offerings from Kita Shuzo, Itooshi (愛おし) means dear, loveful or precious in Japanese. Crafting sake requires early mornings in cold, frigid winters and a lot of physical work, this sake is a dedication to the dedication and love each brewery team member puts in each day and each season.
